I honestly don't remember, although I've heard the explanation. Speaking as the person who's currently running the news site where the gateway resides, I have a mild preference for nuking the explicit addition of "Distribution: gnu" on everything gatewayed to the groups. We'd actually like to get out of the gatewaying business altogether (we do more than gnu.*); it's one more complexity for our shrinking staff to cope with.

I suspect he was a Satanist too, a belief he probably picked up by reading those comic books." -- J Greely (jgreely@cis.ohio-state.edu; osu-cis!jgreely)
